Could you sell your home in two months?

If you listed your San Diego home on the market today, do you think it would still be in your name two months later?

A new study by the real-estate website Trulia says that chances lean toward it being out of your hands within 60 days. In fact, homes in the San Diego metropolitan area sell the fifth fastest out of the 100 largest cities in the Trulia study.

In San Diego, 59 percent of homes listed in mid-February were gone by mid-April, up from 55 percent compared to the same time last year. In March, asking prices were up 14 percent in the county. The reason? Low inventory, or supply.

"In general, housing markets with more inventory and fewer buyers will have a higher share of for-sale homes remaining on the market after two months and a higher median days-on-market," the study released Wednesday says. "Expensive markets - including many in California - have perennially tight supply because of limited constructions, so homes don't stay on the market for long."

Across the nation, 45 percent of homes listed in February were no longer on the market within two months.

Trulia chose to evaluate homes based on its two-month measure as opposed to using median days on market because the number could be skewed downward if inventory suddenly shoots up.

For actual time-on-market data, the San Diego Association Realtors says in March a home was available on average for 60 days. In last year's peak season, the average time-on-market dropped to 44 days in July and August. But in March 2008, the depth the Great Recession, homes were on the market for an average 82 days.

For Trulia's study, homes in Oakland sold the fastest, with 71 percent listed in February no longer for sale in mid-April. Compared to the same time last year, asking prices were up 22.7 percent. Asking prices rose in each of the 10 fastest markets, seven of which were in California.

Richmond, Va. was the slowest market, with 28 percent of homes listed in mid-February no longer available in mid-April. Compared to a year ago, the asking price was up 3.6 percent. However, asking prices fell year-over-year in three of the four slowest markets, including Hartford, Conn.; Albany, N.Y., and New Haven, Conn.
